cant find containers folder? has this changed with Ventura?

To avoid having to use the Go menu or pasting the user Library folder into a search to get there, click anywhere on the desktop so Finder is the foreground app shown at the top left. Press Command+Shift+H to open your user account home folder. With that folder in the foreground, press Command+J. Turn on the check box to Show Library Folder. Close the View Options panel.

From now on when you go to your user account folder, the Library folder will always be visible. Within that is where you'll find the folders dialbrain mentioned:

There's more than one. Are you referring to…

~/Library/Containers

No problem. There are Containers, Daemon Containers & Group Containers.

Do you have the User Library set as visible?

You need to find the apps that you installed that are running those things. They are not in Containers.

Parts of them may be in some folders, but deleting parts of the app is not the solution.

I believe the BB items are Blackberry (Rim). Do you not want to use that software anymore for you phone? If not, uninstall the apps.

Citrix and 1Password should be obvious.

I was going to say, you were using Macs 11 years before Apple existed. 😎

So you don't see this?

Hi I read your thread and have a similar issue - I have a new MacBook Pro running Ventura 13.2 and need to delete my microsoft apps so I can reinstall them directly from the Microsoft website. (I used Migration Assistant to move everything, and my microsoft apps are not working properly at all on the new laptop.)

The instructions I have for deleting Microsoft apps - https://www.drbuho.com/how-to/uninstall-microsoft-office-on-mac - direct me to the Container folder and I can't find it.

My Go feature does not take me to /GroupContainers so any advice you have would be VERY helpful.

Thank you!

Hmmm. What happens if while in the Finder, you press command shift G and paste in the path I posted?

Hi, continuing this thread with another doubt - what are Daemon Containers? Can they be erased?

What is the problem you are having that makes you think deleting Containers will solve?

Actually I wanted to find some other Daemons (hehe) - these ones that are reunning in the background and I want to delete. but haven't found them...
